It’s walkable and you shouldn’t have any issues. Just be careful like walking anywhere in Baltimore. And if it’s your first time going have fun, No Land Beyond is great!

Relatively safe, depending on the path you take and when.

Other commenters are saying you'll be fine, and in general I'd agree with them. I've lived in and around this area for 5 1/2 years and used to walk pretty regularly.

Last October, though, my wife and I were mugged in Hampden next to Keswick Road, and I was shot in the leg. A group of young men (probably teenagers) have been targeting people in this area, probably because it's considered relatively "safe".

I haven't heard about any instances recently, but as far as I know they've never been caught. So just be careful out there.

yeah it's safe, as long as you go down Remington Ave to get in from Hampden. rather than going all the way to the bottom of Keswick and taking 29th: you want to spend as little time on 28th and 29th as possible, as they are currently extremely unsafe with speeding drivers getting into crashes with each other, pedestrians, and even buildings seemingly every other week.

Dang! I hope you’re recovered. I heard about that case at the time and it rattled everyone.

To OP, for a route, if it’s at night, I’d recommend walking Keswick down to where it turns into Sisson, then make a left on 28th and a right on Howard til you get close to the place on 22nd. Those are busy corridors at most hours of the day, so a lot of people around.

My understanding of a lot of those teens’ activity is they were targeting people in more isolated stretches near Wyman Park Drive. But like this commenter above said, I haven’t heard of any recent incidents.

Oh snap it’s Thursday! I may see you there, nerd. Be safe!

Just stay off your phone and don't have EarPods in, although that's probably in any relatively dangerous areas

Go down keswick and cut over to Remington at 33rd, take Remington over to 27th then take Maryland or Charles down. Totally fine
